You want to be Healthy. You want to be Rich. You want to be married. But do you want to be saved from the Hellfire?..&.. Sağlıklı olmak istiyorsun. Zengin olmak istiyorsun. Evlenmek istiyorsun. Ama cehennem ateşinden kurtulmak istiyor musun ?

We’re all flawed. We all make mistakes daily. Yet His Mercy remains. So no matter how hard you stumble & fall, get up. Get back on track.

Kusurluyuz. Her gün hata yapıyoruz. Ama O’nun merhameti hâlâ devam ediyor. Bu yüzden her ne pahasına olursa olsun tökezlediğinde ve düştüğünde, kalk. Yoluna devam et.

Mufti Ismail Menk

Prayer is the cure for a lost soul, confused mind, and a broken heart…&…Namaz kaybolmuş ruhlar, karışmış zihinler ve kırılmış kalpler için şifadır.

 

Allah Almighty does not need anything; He does not need our worship, either. It is we who need worship. Worship is a kind of remedy for our spiritual wounds. It is the food for our spirit and the remedy for the diseases in our heart. Therefore, the reason why Allah Almighty orders worship is our own benefit. When a doctor insistently advises some medicines to a patient, he does it for the benefit of the patient not for his own benefit. It is nonsense to say to the doctor, “Why do you insist on this medicine? Why do you need it?”; similarly, it is nonsense and illogical to think, “Why does Allah Almighty order us to worship? Why does He need it?”

The reason why Allah created the universe is to show the manifestations of his names and attributes and to present the wonderful reflections of those manifestations and these beautiful works of art to the witnessing of His own sacred being and to the comprehension of conscious beings like human beings.

Man is usually busy with worldly affairs; so, he does not look at those divine wonders and does take lessons from them related to the oneness of the Creator, His endless knowledge, power and wisdom. One can find the way going to the artist from the art, and to the giver of the bounties from bounties only by getting rid of worldly affairs. The only means of getting rid of those pursuits is prayer (salah).

Light, air, water, meals, which are the food for our worldly life and biological existence, are necessary; similarly, worship and especially prayer (salah), which is the light of the mind, the air of the heart and the food of the spirit, are necessary for a sane person.

Prayer (salah), which means to repent and to apologize, due to our mistakes, to Allah, who is the pre-eternal and post-eternal sultan of the whole universe, who created us out of nothing, who grants us thousands of bounties, promises the eternal life of Paradise to those who show respect to Him, whom we need at every breath and who is our benefactor, is the expression of respect by man toward his Lord. No mind, heart or conscience can put up with the disrespect toward Lord by not performing prayers.

Prayer is like an index of worship that contains all of the other pillars of Islam. For instance, a person who performs prayer also performs a kind of hajj by turning toward the qiblah; he performs a kind of fasting by not eating and drinking during the prayer; he gives a kind of zakah by allocating his time, which is his capital of life, to mention the names of Allah. In addition, during the prayer, he performs the worship of the beings in the universe by standing like trees and plants, by bowing down like the four legged creatures and by prostrating like reptiles.

Similarly, some angels worship Allah by standing all the time, some worship by bowing down and others by prostrating all the time. A person who performs prayers fulfills the worship of the angels by trying to do them at certain periods of time; in a sense, he becomes like an angel.

Prayer is the ascension of the believer. As salâtu mi’râj-ul-mu’min.

Keep praying even if you only have a whisper left. He hears it all..&..Sadece bir fısıltı ile bile olsa dua etmeye devam et. O hepsini duyuyor.

O Allah! I need you more than ever. Please bring peace to my confusion, joy to my sadness, and hope to my heart. Ameen.

Ey Allahım! Sana her zamankinden daha çok ihtiyacım var. Sıkıntılarımı huzura, acılarımı sevince çevir ve kalbimi ümitle doldur. Amin

Dr. Bilal Philips

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A person will be summoned with the one whom he loves”…&…Allah Resûlü (ﷺ) dedi ki, ” Kişi sevdiği kimseyle beraberdir.

If you need love, love. Need happiness? Bring it to others. Want to be rich? Share from what you have. Want Jannah? Do it all for Allah’s Pleasure.

Yahya Adel Ibrahim

Sevgiye ihtiyacın varsa, sev. Mutluluğa ihtiyacın varsa, başkalarını mutlu et. Zengin olmak istiyorsan, neyin varsa paylaş. Cenneti istiyorsan, Allah’ı memnun et.
